I have some plastic parts that are runner guides for a blind system, they are no longer made, so am looking to get the remaining pair I have scanned and replicated so I can shut my bedroom blinds before it gets too light in the morning!

Anyone have a service that can take care of this? I’m in the Bristol/Bath area.

Thanks

Hi @Nick_69, you can head over to our Start a 3D Print page and enter your location to bring up Hubs in your local area. If you click on the More filters tab and select 3D scanning, you can then select a Hub that offers 3D scanning services. Click on their profile and then select Contact this Hub, and you can begin discussing your project with them.

I’ve gone ahead and done this search for you in the Bristol area. Good luck!

Thanks.

Have you searched for a STL file for the parts? There are a lot of “blinds” parts out there. Or are you not able to print?

No, might try it, its a very insignificant piece and not from any known brand, but will try. Thanks

Just was wondering. I was able to find one for a clip that hold the valance on at the top of a mini blind. I made another one of the clips for the bottom.

Here is one thing I did. I put the part on a piece of paper and traced it to get a profile (orient the part as needed) then scanned the page to a jpg and loaded that into my CAD program and used it as a template to help build a part.
